BAND’S WORDS: We’ve been playing since 2009 as three piece band (guitar, bass, drum). We love jamming, so all songs come like this. In April 2011, we talk to Juan Manuel Diaz, who is the guitar-singer of the band Humo del Cairo (Meteorcity). He accept to be our producer, so we travel to Buenos Aires to start the first studio experience. We record all the tracks in two days. In June, we get the final CD version “Todo el Odio del Unicornio” with 9 songs all of them by SAMURAI, no covers. Now the complete CD version with the art cover is done.
